Wash and prepare the mixed berries. If necessary, hull and slice the strawberries. Divide the berries equally among four serving glasses or bowls and set aside.
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with a few inches of water and bring it to a simmer over low heat. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the mixing bowl you will use for the sabayon.
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Whisk them vigorously until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
Place the mixing bowl over the simmering water (double boiler method) and continue to whisk the yolks and sugar while gradually pouring in the wine (or Prosecco).
Whisk constantly for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture becomes thickened, creamy, and increases in volume. It should be smooth and airy, with no lumps. Be careful not to overcook or let the mixture curdle.
Optional: Stir in the vanilla extract at this stage for added flavor.
Remove the sabayon from the heat and let it cool slightly, stirring occasionally.
Spoon the warm sabayon generously over the prepared berries in each glass or bowl.
Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and a small mint sprig, if desired.
Serve immediately while the sabayon is warm and silky, or allow it to cool to room temperature before serving.
